Today has been brilliant. We woke up to sunshine in Bounty Island finished packing and checked out. For breakfast I had a fried egg and beans on toast and a slice of pineapple to help it all digest. Perfect breakfast after drinking lots of wine on the Seaspray trip yesterday. The boat to our next island picked us up at 9am. We thanked the staff for a lovely stay and they waved and sung us off.

Our next island was Waya Lailai about an hour on the big Yasawa Express boat. To get to the island we had to get on the transfer boat which was filled with water so we transferred to a speed boat while our bags met us on the island. The speedboat was an experience in its self and the best wake up after a awful nights sleep getting bitten to death. It was as exciting as the Rocket Boat in San Fran but without the rock n roll soundtrack. When
We got to shore we were in the Village and a hostess, Nuava, met us and walked us round to the resort. Echo Haven was beautiful and although the water was choppy the weather was beautiful. Our bure was cute with a traditional thatched roof, single bed and double bed and toilet and shower. We changed and went down to the beach to read in the hammocks.

Lunch was served at 12pm and dished out for you. We got a fish fritter, noodles, rice, coleslaw and pineapple. No norma noodles but was delicious enough. The fish fritter was my favourite part.

After lunch we had a sumo nap and woke up for a for a cup of tea and feeling totally relaxed even stoned we contemplated our choices, kayak or snorkel. Feeling ultra relaxed I went for a 30 minute tropical fijian massage and Neil went for a beer.

After an amazing half hour of a deep massage I felt totally relaxed and only for $35 Fijian dollars which was about £12 well worth it!

We had decided to go on a guided sunset hike up the mountain at 4pm. We changed out of our flip flops and into our walking shoes (thank you Dad). Our guide was called Saki and he had all ready done this trip once today with a 75 year old American Lady so we were going to postpone until tomorrow so he could rest but other people wanted to come so he took us. There were 6 in the group, Neil and I, a german guy called Hendrick and a family from Australia (parents from New Zealand now live in Sydney) mum and dad and two kids. The hike went in from the start, climbing over rocks and up through steep paths, it was an hour trek to the top, stopping for some well needed rests and filled our bottles with fresh clear mountain water.

Once we got to the top our guide took us in 3s across the edge of a rock on to the peak where we could take some photos and see the village below and surrounding islands. I would never have been able to do it if Saki wasn't so sure we all could and his confidence assured me there was no danger as I balanced my body and stepped along a vertical rock face, trying not to think one wrong footing I may slip and fall. A 75yr old and a child can do this so can I! The views were beautiful and well worth the sweaty hike up there. The decent down was easier and we stopped off at 'the wobbling rock' and had a great view of 'King Kong' a rock the shape of his head. Once it started to get dark the walk was harder and the path slippery, so I used my hands and bum a lot more so not to hurt my ankles. We made it down the 300metres in time for a shower and dinner feeling pretty good.

Dinner was well wanted after working up an appetite. We had chicken on the bone stew with rice, local vegetables, coleslaw, mash potatoes and pineapple. All was beautifully cooked and full of flavour but I couldn't finish the mash and coleslaw.

Probably should of had the massage after the hike but maybe it prepared my muscles for it in the end!

Beautiful island and I look forward to what tomorrow brings.
